The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 255
The Nationalist themselves must accept much of the blame for their defeat. They were
more heavily armed in the beginning of the war and they made many tactical errors over the
course of the war. Nevertheless, the most important question is, could the US have prevented a
communist victory in China by simply providing more aid or by simply providing the arms we
sold to them? According to Dr. Stanley Monteith, “It is impossible to read the complete text of
the McCarran Committee report without coming to the conclusion that the Truman
Administration betrayed the Nationalist Chinese and brought the Chairman Mao to power.”

According to William C. Bullit, former US ambassador to the Soviet Union and France,
the US was not doing its part to help defeat the communist in China. “Bullit pushed for extensive
U.S. aid.” The Democrats had held the White house throughout World War II and the post war.
Bullit promised the Nationalist leader of China, Chiang Kai-shek, that if he could hold out till the
November Presidential election, the coming Republican administration would bring the needed
aid that would help the Chinese Nationalist defeat the Communist. This was not to be since in
November 1948, Democratic President, Harry S. Truman won the election defeating Republican
hopeful Thomas E. Dewey.

General Douglas MacArthur was also critical of US foreign policy regarding China.
During the Korean War General MacArthur “argued in favor of expanding the war against
China”.
1011
He is also reported to have “told a (U.S.) congressman that he wasn’t allowed to win
the Korean War. For his open opposition of President Truman’s foreign policy, General
MacArthur was relieved of duty.
1012
Dr. Stanley Monteith says, “If you study that era, you will discover that General Lin Piao,
the communist leader who commanded the Chinese army that attacked our soldiers in North
Korea, knew there was a secret agreement that precluded us from winning the Korean War.
General Lin Piao wrote:”
I would not have made the attack and risked my men and military
reputation if I had not been assured that Washington would restrain General
MacArthur from taking adequate retaliation measures against my lines of supply
and communication.
1013
It must be noted that China was and is not a peaceful nation and the Nationalist Army
itself was guilty of the democide in the death of approximately 10 million Chinese.
1014
The
empire dates back thousands of years. China has always exerted influence over its region of the
world and over its own people by military force.
1015
The Nationalist Army under Chiang Kai-
shek was an attempt to bring peace and stability to the country and to aid the poor. Warlords
ruled much of China. Chiang attempted to bring these warlords under his control by making
them leaders in his Nationalist Army. The Army and the system were corrupted and out of
control. The Nationalist Army was guilty of one atrocity after another against the Chinese
people. In attempts to correct some of the atrocities committed by the Nationalist Army, Chiang
executed some of those in charge but this was not enough. Chiang was never able to obtain full
command of the warlords who commanded large portions f his military.
